Earlier, there was recommended Borland C++ 3.1. But it is very outdated (in sense of language), closed source, commercial, non-free and contains bugs, which will never fixed. Currently, it gradually replaced OpenWatcom C/C++ compiler (www.openwatcom.org). Unfortunately, there are no other valued alternatives for this compiler, which (1) supports not very outdated language edition, (2) completely supports 16-bit target and (3) works under MS-DOS.
Borland C was listed in the FreeDOS Spec, but this is outdated and has been fixed in the FD-DOC Wiki (which will go live soon.) OpenWatcom is now the recommended C compiler for FreeDOS.
